Senior Yorkie Talker | I Am Sorry! I just got back on here and checked my mail. I said something on here I was not suppose to say. Really I got 2 mails another came in my hubby's email from his website. I said t-cup and tiny t-cup. I am sorry I had no idea. I just always heard them called that. I did not mean no harm. Thank you for letting me know that those are not they way to say that. I did study and talk to many breeds and vets and no one has ever said to me dont say those words. I do know that small can be harmful during labor for a female. I just feel so bad about this. I did not mean to get anyone upset or to start an fuss. I am not this way. The only reason I said those words again just now for everyone knows what I have said and newbies will not hopefully make the same mistake as I did. I did not read the replies I am sorry to say I emptied my box before I could read. I just now go back on here cause my son's birthday was yesterday (the big 10). I really am so sorry. I feel so bad I am REALLY in tears. I love my babies so much. I would never use those terms to place a yorkie (or any other animal) in a home. I will very much keep this in mind and try to remember it in the future. Like I said I am sure I got replies on that (2 that I know of) not sure if some where nice and if some was not...however I did not know better...really I did not! I never heard of this until now. So thank you for letting me know. Please forgive me! I am sorry....

| OMG.....you did NOTHING wrong by saying t-cup!! That is just one of MANY misunderstanding, about yorkies.....I'm sorry that you are so upset by this! But you did not commit the unforgiveable sin!! Some are just very sensitive to the use of T-cup....to describe yorkies....

| Honey, your not the first nor the last to use the terms Tiny or Teacup. If your not educated in the breed how would you know? That's what YT is for. They will set you straight evertime. I talk to people often when they see me with Buddy and they don 't belive he's a Yorkie due to his size. When I tell them Yorkies come in all sizes they still don't believe me. People think Yorkie and immediately it has to be tiny or a Teacup, that's all they know & don't want to know anything else! I have learned to keep quiet, except on YT Don't fret, nothing to be upset about. It's an honest mistake. Your right, vet's don't know either |

| Oh poor you. Yes the word t-cup can set some people into a spin. Shake it off! We all learn here and most of the time it is in a kind loving place to grow. I hope you will continue to stay here and ask questions and share stories! I am sure they told you yorkies are a toy breed! I just think toys come in all sizes! From 12 pounds down to pocket lint sizes! Each size has its advantages and disadvantages. No matter what size we love them all, and wish you nothing but the best! Heavens I have made plenty of mistakes along my yorkie journey! Live, learn and most of all Laugh!! |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Toy Yeah I knew they are a toy breed... I just always heard the smaller called "the other". I know now...thank you! I just needed to say I was wrong infront of everyone on here and I did not know but now I do.... God Bless!

| Teacup is just a term for a smaller yorkie. Alot of people that are not on YT use the term and we are not going to get away from its use. I am sorry someone emailed you and made you feel bad about it

| Did you get emails from certain people, or did you get the automatic emails that come to your email when someone replys to a topic. I use to get all sorts of emails when I first joined, thinking that people were emailing me, then I found out that it is something in our profile that you can change. I don't get the emails when someone replies to a topic that I replied to. I don't do that anymore as it fills up my email box too much. Some people are over sensitive to the term "teacup". Don't worry about it. This is a great place to learn everything you need to know about yorkies. Welcome |

Senior Yorkie Talker | No really I am glad I got the messages here on the other... they were no hateful but helpful and very greatful about it. Really no joke! I just hate that I made people upset. I would not say or do something wrong on purpose and just to let everyone know that....

| I, for one, never get upset if someone uses the word teacup, unless it is an unscrupulous breeder. "Teacup" has become so universal and I see it on TV, magazines, and even puppy clothes patterns. If someone refers to their baby as a teacup, I just figure it's a small dog. Please don't feel bad! Hugs to you!
